Total Thyroidectomy
Know Your Endocrinology and Diabetology Treatment
Total thyroidectomy is a surgical procedure in which the entire thyroid gland is removed. This surgery is typically performed when the thyroid is significantly diseased or affected by conditions like cancer, hyperthyroidism, or goitre, where partial removal would not be sufficient. Removing the entire thyroid is essential for treating certain thyroid disorders and preventing recurrence.
